A Business Support Service (BSS) firm; CBI Innovations Limited (CBiIL), has vaccinated 4,854 cows in Abuja against some key seasonal diseases.

The vaccination, which was sponsored in conjunction with Nestle Nigeria PLC and 2scale, a company that specialises in offering support services to agribusiness, was carried out at the herders grazing reserve in Paikon-Kore in Gwagwalada Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
